Sathura Adi 3500 (English: Square Feet 3500) is a 2017 Indian Tamil horror drama film written and directed by Jaison. Featuring Nikhil Mohan, Iniya, Swathi Deekshith and Akash in the lead roles, the film also has veteran actors Rahman, Pratap Pothan and Kovai Sarala in pivotal roles. The film began production during mid-2016 and was released on 4 August 2017 to negative reviews from critics.

Jaison wrote the film's script after being inspired by a real life incident in Chennai, where people had allegedly experienced a supernatural presence. He cast Iniya in the leading female role, while Rahman also accepted to work on the film after being convinced by Jaison's narration. Malayalam actor Nikhil Mohan, Kannada actor Akash and Swathi Deekshith, who had earlier appeared in Ram Gopal Varma's horror film Ice Cream (2014) were also signed. The film was also one of the final projects of cinematographer Anandakuttan, who was replaced by I. Francis after his death. Sathura Adi 3500 was shot extensively in Bengaluru, Chalakudy, ECR and other interior parts of Chennai during late 2016.

The success of Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru (2016) starring Rahman prompted producers of his delayed ventures to publicise and release their films to make most of the actor's renaissance at the box office. Subsequently after the release of Pagadi Aattam in February 2017 and Oru Mugathirai in March 2017, the makers of Sathura Adi 5000 chose to promote Rahman as one of the film's main characters despite his relatively small role. During the film's audio launch in July 2017, veteran director K. Bhagyaraj criticised actress Iniya for failing to attend the event. Bhagyaraj called for producers to think twice before casting her, and stated that she was not in the top bracket of actresses. Iniya later played down Bhagyaraj's comments and stated she was recuperating from an ankle injury. She also revealed that the team had merely sent her a WhatsApp message telling her to attend rather than providing a formal invitation.
